While Old Yan was planning all of this, Han Ling was preparing to head south to Shuozhou.
The three regiments of Ying County left behind a battalion to defend the city before rushing over to Shanyin County.
..........
On June 3rd, 1930, when Lu Yinglin's 44th Division was about to reach Shenchi County, Han Ling led tens of thousands of troops south to Shuozhou.
At this moment, the Jinsui Army infantry unit in Shuozhou had also run to Shenchi County.
They had received Yan Baichuan's order yesterday, so they naturally wouldn't try to stop a chariot.
Everything seemed to be going according to Yan Baichuan's plan.
However, on June 3rd, at one o'clock in the afternoon, after the troops arrived in Shuozhou, Han Ling did not stay there for long.
He ordered the 1st regiment to get ready to attack for 30 kilometers and take down Shenchi County in one fell swoop.
In order to speed up, Han Ling specially transferred dozens of trucks to transport them.
Yan Baichuan wasn't the only one who understood the location of Shenchi County and Ningwu County.
Han Ling saw it too.
This could be said to be the main road from Shuozhou to the south of Shanxi.
If Yan Baichuan took down this place, he would be able to block the attack of his 40,000-strong army with his 20,000 men.
If he took this place, he could also block Yan Baichuan's path to the north.
Therefore, he didn't stay in Shuozhou City for a day as Yan Baichuan had imagined. Instead, he arrived at Shuozhou City. After having lunch, he immediately sent a group of people to Shenchi County.
......................
At this moment, Shenchi County only had one battalion that had been withdrawn last night.
There were no more troops left in this county.
The regular army was transferred to the front line of the Jiang army.
As for the security forces, they were transferred to Shanyin County and Ying County. However, they were now eaten up by the Pingyuan Army.
"Battalion Commander, how long do you think Chief Lu's 44th Division will take to get here? The Pingyuan Army must have reached Shuozhou by now! Without the main force by my side, I don't feel safe!”
The person who spoke was a company commander. His name was Diao Cheng, and his nickname was Diao Ergou.
He and this battalion commander were from the same hometown, and they were usually on good terms. Otherwise, a company commander like him wouldn't dare to speak to a battalion commander like that. Isn't this disrupting the morale of the army?
"Buttface, let me tell you. You can just say these words in front of me. If you say it outside, I won't forgive you!”
His battalion commander, Kong Wei, looked at Diao Chengdao warningly.
"Battalion Commander, I'm just being angry! Where did this Pingyuan Army come from? Commander Qin's troops were defeated by them in less than a day. They seem to be even more powerful than our troops!”
"It's done! Go down and lead the troops well. In addition, he had to prepare to welcome Chief Lu.
Officer Yan had already sent a telegram. They would probably arrive at the Deity's Lake tomorrow morning.”
In fact, this battalion commander was also somewhat depressed. He didn't know where this Pingyuan Army had come from, but his own Jinsui Army had to avoid their sharp edge.
"Alright then! Battalion Commander, I'll be leaving first!"
Diao Cheng was about to leave when a soldier ran in.
"Camp Leader, something bad has happened! The Pingyuan Army is attacking!"
When the soldier ran in, his face was filled with panic.
"Bastard! What did you say? The Pingyuan Army attacked? Don't disturb the morale of the army here. Do you know that lying about military intelligence will lead to a military court?”
Before the battalion commander could say anything, Diao Cheng grabbed the soldier's collar and shouted.
Diao Cheng couldn't believe that the Pingyuan Army would attack just like that.
According to their speed, the Pingyuan Army should still be in Shuozhou!
Moreover, they had only traveled a few dozen kilometers in the morning. They should be resting now.
However, this soldier said that the Pingyuan Army was coming. No one could believe it.
"Speak clearly. What exactly is going on? What's going on with the Pingyuan Army?"
The Battalion Commander asked in a low voice.
"Battalion Commander, what I said is true! Just now, our men went to change shifts with the outpost outside the city. Before they arrived, we saw a convoy driving towards us on the road.
The military flag hanging on it was the Golden Dragon Flag of the Pingyuan Army. They quickly took a shortcut and ran back! Camp Leader, hurry up and close the city gates! Otherwise, they'll be here soon!"
"What is it? A convoy? Are you saying that Pingyuan's military trucks are transporting soldiers? Then how many of them are there?"
"I'm not sure! Our people didn't see it clearly. They only saw the Golden Dragon Flag and quickly ran back!”
"Bastard!"
The battalion commander immediately cursed, but no one knew who he was scolding.
"Hurry up and close the city gate. Also, send a message to Taiyuan and inform Officer Yan of our situation here!”
"Yes, sir!"
..........
"Bang ~"
"Bang ~"
"Bang ~"
.....
Just as the battalion commander was about to close the city gate, gunshots suddenly rang out from within the city.
It turned out that the soldiers at the city gate wanted to close the city gate when they saw the golden dragon flag.
However, before they could close the city gate, the light machine guns mounted on the top of the truck fired.
The soldiers at the city gate fell to the ground.
The soldiers on the city gate also began to fire back.
However, the soldiers of the First Regiment of the Pingyuan Army also started to counterattack.
However, the truck did not stop.
He rushed into the city gate.
Soon after, some trucks stopped and the soldiers on them immediately got down to clear out the Jinsui Army.
There were also some trucks that did not stop. Instead, they began to move toward the city center.
Their target was the Shenchi County military headquarters.
......
"Where did the gunshots come from? Did the Pingyuan Army enter the city?"
At this moment, the Battalion Commander panicked and couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"Hurry up! Follow me out to take a look! Diao Cheng, quickly go to the military camp and gather the troops!”
The Battalion Commander said anxiously as he walked out of his command post.
Just as the battalion commander walked out of his command post and was about to gather the troops…
The trucks rampaged through the streets, heading straight for the command center of the Deity's Lake.
.....................
One regiment against one battalion.
Whether it was in terms of combat quality or weapons.
The army of Jinsui is much weaker than the army of Pingyuan.
From the moment they entered the city to the moment the Jinsui Army was disarmed.
The whole process took less than an hour.
Naturally, this Battalion Commander and Diao Cheng were also captured.
"Send a message to the commander! We have successfully seized Shenchi County, requesting for the next military action!”
After sending the captives to Shuozhou, Liu Kelong, the regiment commander of the First Regiment, began to send a message to Han Ling.
............
Shuozhou, Pingyuan Army's temporary headquarters!
"Liu Kelong took down Shenchi County? Very good! Send a message to Ya Siqi and ask her to arm all the cloned soldiers that she had synthesized over the past few days and send them to the front line.”
